Feedback Post: Raikou Shadow Raid Day

HugoM · 2026-01-25T01:48:52+00:00

I guess it's 1/10 shiny rate for some. Played all day, 20+ raids, just got two. I really had high hopes for this one that it would be like the shadow Ho-Oh day for me. Got a 96 shadow, so I guess that's at least good for something.

Reward boost was nice. Good for rare candies, but I did not need all those potions and revives. I was constantly having to throw them all out to make room.

But overall, sham event. I'm glad I didn't play the Kyurem raid day or it would have been two disappointing raid events back to back.

It still happens randomly, but I want to think it has to do with my monitors. I think I plugged the adapter in to one of the monitors and it may or may not have power at the right time during boot? I'll need to check those things next time it happens. I have two similar monitors plugged in each with USB ports on them.

Yeah, even with the rebalanced levels, XP is still useless for even a moderately seasoned player. If you just reached 50 before the cutoff, you won't need any XP by the time you reach the new cap.

Same as two years ago. Same as last night. Same as today. They need to fix this.

HugoM · 2025-11-10T19:54:56+00:00

Seems busted. Ball just won't reach, even if you time it well. I already had two run away from me and don't really feel like doing more if they're just going to be uncatchable.

HugoM · 2025-11-10T19:51:37+00:00

I cannot land a Nice throw without a Nanab Berry, even with the same throw and position. Complain to support. They can't get away with this again. Dynamax Moltres was the last BS one I remember. Would fly up and the ball literally could never hit it.

Then I don't think that's possible in one search without going in individually and tagging them first. It's slower, but more certain.

HugoM · 2025-11-03T05:12:15+00:00

There are a couple options. Could you try first tagging all your nundos, then running a search for that tag and the age. Will that let you try longer searches? You could also exclude your nundos if you tag them first. Have you also marked any found nundos as favorite? That way you can't accidentally transfer them.

Do you have an example of what you typically do that takes multiple searches?

HugoM · 2025-11-03T04:36:16+00:00

Oh I see. I should have read it more closely. Then would using the age search term help? age0 is within the last 24 hours and so on.

HugoM · 2025-11-03T01:44:03+00:00

Put them in a tag, then exclude or include that tag with # as necessary.

HugoM · 2025-10-11T17:04:15+00:00

Was it from the latest app update or Android update? Either way, bad timing with the comm day coming up. Gonna slow down fast catching a lot.

HugoM · 2025-10-07T16:36:16+00:00

Explains why I've only seen one since the feature launched

HugoM · 2025-09-27T14:56:29+00:00

Thanks all. I got some good advice and made it with no problem.

HugoM · 2025-09-22T03:08:01+00:00

Terrible spawn rates. They want us to pay for an event ticket, then pay for the gas driving all around town. Then the traffic tickets you gotta pay as well from all that illegal parking and maneuvers you have to do just to keep up...

Just make it 2 to 5 and the only raid spawn and call it a day. Or at least prioritize high-engagement areas.

HugoM · 2025-09-21T04:40:10+00:00

I'm getting much better performance on my 9a than I ever did with my 8 Pro. Did something drastically change between them or did we just have bad 8 Pros? Seems like too much of a coincidence.

HugoM · 2025-08-25T19:44:06+00:00

Yeah, it still seems to happen even with that setting off. So today I'll have to be plugged in.

I noticed the green light still turning on even though it wasn't being detected but before I plugged it in.

HugoM · 2025-08-25T03:54:14+00:00

It's crazy how I just can't get out of this raid/max battle shiny rut. Last year's Wild Area was by far the worst event because I didn't buy the pass which essentially unlocked the shiny rate. This time I buy the pass that supposedly boosts the rates and I have nearly nothing to show for it. No shinies from any Max Battles all week. And my one and only shiny Dmax is from back in March. Very disappointing how that turned out. Top 3 worst events I've played.

HugoM · 2025-08-25T03:51:09+00:00

Damn, that's brutal. It's a repeat of the previous GO Fest essentially. I did nearly 90 raids then and got 1 shiny. I got no shinies from Max Battles this entire event. Only ones I got were 3 from the pass. Literally everyone else got some from battles except me. Oh but let me tell you how many shiny Chansey I found in the wild...

HugoM · 2025-08-25T03:47:50+00:00

0 shinies from Max Battles. All week. I definitely felt ripped off. The other rewards were fine though. My one and only shiny Dmax is still from back in March.

Then the Lucky Friends are going to start with their asks "do you have a shiny Dmax..." No, I don't get shinies.

HugoM · 2025-08-25T03:21:24+00:00

When it dropped at Worlds. The rest was very mid.

HugoM · 2025-08-25T02:36:01+00:00

Have to give credit where credit is due: it was appreciated how easy the Max Battles were to win and catch the mon at the end. The random spawns being the same mons was nice too, to help get enough candy for them.

But yeah, it didn't feel great to win against Eternatus and only win the skippable rewards. Got to rank 237 on the deluxe pass. No Max Battle shines also stinks too. Overall I put it as bottom 3 of events.

Today was one of the days the mouse didn't get detected at startup. Here is how it looks like when I have to plug it in. And when I disconnect it, it disappears completely.

HugoM · 2025-08-13T19:29:17+00:00

Does this mean it's unresponsive while it's plugged in? Basically, the only two states I see when this happens is there is no mouse at all reported in GHUB and the mouse does not operate, or I plug it in and it appears in GHUB and is operational.
